2009 Black Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Sedan 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
La Grange, Illinois, United States
The La Grange, Illinois (Cook County) Police Department is offering the following vehicle for sale/auction:
2009 Black Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Sedan 4-Door 4.6L This vehicle is surplus property of the Village of La Grange and MUST be sold according to Illinois law: It MUST be sold in an auction-style format such as eBay. There is no Buy-It-Now option. We will NOT accept any trades for this vehicle. The vehicle is being sold AS IS and with NO existing warranty, neither express nor implied. All sales are FINAL and NO returns will be accepted. The vehicle will be sold to the highest bidder after the starting price has been satisfied. There is NO reserve on this vehicle.
The vehicle has a mileage of 111,334 miles. The vehicle has no notable body damage or rust, just normal wear-n-tear and minor scratches. The vehicle has working turn signals, hazards, internal dome light, power door locks, power windows, power mirrors, power pedal adjustment, power trunk release, power driver's seat and lumbar. The horn works, the A/C, heat, and fan blower all work. The rear defrost and wipers work. The vehicle is equipped with cruise controls on the steering wheel (unknown if working-we did not use them). The vehicle is equipped with a working spotlight on the driver's side. The vehicle's tires appear to be in decent shape. The back seat of the vehicle is new (never used). Notable damage/scratches/dents/imperfections/things that don't work or things that need to be replaced/repaired: This vehicle was used as part of a fleet of police vehicles. We had the police decals removed, however, the vehicle will need to be "buffed" where the decals used to be (see photos). There were three small holes cut into the outside roof of the vehicle for police equipment. Two of the holes have been "capped," however, the third hole will need a cap. There is a small hole cut into the roof (inside headliner) that was also used for police equipment (see photos). The vehicle will need a new battery; it needs to be jumped to start. When the vehicle was used as a police vehicle, a cutoff switch was installed that allowed the vehicle to remain on with the keys out of the ignition. The switch was taken out, however, the wiring is still in back of the dash. The headlights do not go on as well as the AM/FM stereo. It is unknown if it is just a fuse or if it has something to do with the cutoff switch. Lastly, and most importantly, the vehicle was driven until late 2013, when we received a diagnosis that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle runs and moves, however, it will need a new engine! The winning bidder should have the vehicle towed from our lot. Over the years, the following damage/major repairs have been made to this vehicle (maintenance record): 1. 01/16/10 vehicle involved in passenger side (front door/front tire) crash. Damage repaired to the amount of $2,190.70. 2. 01/24/11 transmission cooler and condenser assembly replaced. 3. 06/03/11 replacement of fuel sender and front/rear brakes. 4. 07/26/11 replacement of blower resister/switch/wires and recharge A/C. 5. 09/21/11 replacement of heat motor assembly 6. 01/02/12 replacement of passenger-side airbag switch and repaired rear defroster. 7. 05/26/12 replaced heat and A/C blower motor and cooling fan assembly. 8. 06/14/12 rebuilt transmission assembly. 9. 06/28/12 replaced alternator. 10. 09/30/12 replaced 4 tires, A/C service, alignment. 11. 10/11/12 replaced sway bar links, transmission service/flush, rear brakes, replaced rack and pinion. 12. 10/24/12 replaced air bag sensor, replaced drive belt and spark plugs. 13. 11/20/12 re-built driver's seat cushion. 14. 08/12/13 A/C service, replaced rack and pinion, alignment, two new tires. 15.

Autocar pits Formula Ford against Germany's finest
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Ford has quite the racing pedigree, but usually, its racers are relegated to the track. Not the new Formula Ford EcoBoost, though. It's a turbocharged, open-wheeled racer complete with a 200-horsepower, 1.0-liter, three-cylinder engine... and it's legal on the roads of the UK.
That's stressed in this video from Autocar, with the mag going so far as to show the car's tax disc and license plates. Being a road-legal offering, it's tempting to see just how well an open-wheeler that delivers racecar-like performance while also netting over 100 miles per gallon (assume this is on the British cycle, for obvious reasons) stacks up against modern performance cars.
Autocar lined up the Formula Ford against an Audi R8 V10, a BMW M6 Gran Coupe and a Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG in a number of situations to see which would come out on top. Take a look below for the full video.
Ram 1500 bests new F-150 in MT pickup shootout
Tue, Nov 25 2014Ford's 2015 Ford F-150 is a technological tour-de-force, what with its aluminum-intensive construction and its powerful and efficient new 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine option. But now that it's hit the market, it's time to get down to brass tacks and find out how just the latest F-150 actually stands up to its rivals in the hyper-competitive fullsize segment. Motor Trend is among the first to round up the Ford (in Lariat 2.7-liter 4X4 guise here) and put it up against the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman EcoDiesel 4x4 and 5.3-liter-equipped Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 to find out how Dearborn's new-think truck measures up. The test put the trio through over 1,000 miles of tough driving in California and Arizona in a variety of conditions from just cruising around unladen to hauling a trailer. MT found all three trucks to be competent, but the most praise got heaped on the Ram and the Ford, with the Chevrolet falling a step behind its competitors in many tests. Among the Ford's most-liked features was its 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 that helped make the F-150 easily the quickest of the group, with some editors saying the engine felt about the same whether driving around with cargo in the bed or not. There was some minor turbo lag during acceleration while trailering, but that issue affected the Ram, too. The Ram's powertrain was lauded, as well. The EcoDiesel was torquey around town, and the 1500's combination of an eight-speed automatic and air suspension was judged to be the best of the lot. It was the most difficult to get into the bed, though. The Ram also won the fuel economy award by netting 20-miles-per-gallon city and 28-mpg highway in the test to beat its Environmental Protection Agency ratings of 19/27. The Ford's EcoBoost managed 17/22, one mpg off each from the EPA numbers, and using a lot of throttle really depleted its efficiency. As MT notes, however, it would take time for the diesel's mileage savings to pay off at the pump for these two trucks. In the end, the Ram just barely eked out the win, with the title partially earned because of "the Ford's unknown maintenance and aluminum repair costs," according to MT.

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA
Tue, 04 Nov 2014As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.
